N Str I Got W_e_ll_ Quick _“I had a lot of trouble with my little daughter, Edith,” says Mrs. H. G. Eubank, 1229 N Street N.W. “She got very weak and pale, her !breath was bad and her tongue coated and nothing seemed to agree with her. “We decided her trouble was constipation and began giving her California Fig Syrup. It bright- ened her up right away, strength- ened her, gave her a good appe- tite. In a few days she looked like We have used Fig or feverish spell, and it always helps her wonderfully.” Children like the rich, fruity taste of California Fig Syrup, and you can give it to them as often as they need it, because it is pure- ly vegetable. For over 50 years leading physicians have recom- mendedl it, and its overwhelming sales record of over four million bottles a year shows it gives satis- faction. Nothing compares with it as a gentle but certain laxative, and it goes further than this. It regulates the stomach and bowels and gives tone and strength to these organs so they continue to act normally, of their own accord. There are many imitations of California Fig Syrup, so look for the name “California” on the car- ton to be sure you get the genuine.

How- ever, the officers of the battalion are taking the men aboard the ship at every opportunity and training them in going promptly to their stations for battle, abandon ship, collision drill and the like.

There are two of these, both donated by the United States Naval Reserve Offi- cers’ Association of the United States, one awarded to the battalion having the highest figure of merit as a result of the inspections and the other to the fleet division having the highest figure of merit.

In their own words, by their marked and re- corded ballots, motorists by tens of thousands are telling us the Greater Hudson is truly the greatest of all time. Voting in every Hudson salesroom in the country, these enthusiastic multitudes have piled up the most convincing endorsement in Hudson history. Perhapseven moreimportant, they have bought these beautiful new Hudsons in such numbers that we must make thousands more of them to insure prompt delivery.

Every experience and suggestion of the world’s largest 6-cylinder ownership is incorporated in the 64 improvements of the Greater Hudson. As co-authors of these creations the 1,000,000 Super-Six owners are naturally first to want to see, inspect and drive them. It is particularly interesting to observe their special satisfaction in the numerous body improvements. Incom-. ment, these important developments in body design and appointment, fully equal the more dramatic qualities of the more than 80-mile-an- hour performance. They definitely set Hudson apart from like- priced cars, just as Hudson performance stands alone among all cars. Come, see and drive the Greater Hudson. We believe one ride will make it the car of your choice. Bme}‘mmo:tbno!u'uflml'fllh will MRS. BILL WILL SPEAK. “Unit of Mental Energy” to Be Subject of Church Leader.
